Free reading - "In Morningstar's Shadow" by Aliette de Bodard

In
August, Aliette de Bodard published
her new novel, “The House of Shattered
Wings”, the first book in the Dominion
of the Fallen series, due to be followed in 2017, if I am not mistaken, by “The House of Binding Thorns”. Prior to
the release of “The House of Shattered Wings” Aliette de Bodard made available
a set of stories that introduced the readers to the universe of the novel, gathered
in an ebook volume, “In Morningstar’s
Shadow”, and offered at the time as reward in a preorder campaign of the
novel. Now, “In Morningstar’s Shadow” can be read for free and copies of this
small collection containing the stories “The
Face of Heaven”, “Paid Debts”
and “What Has to Be Done” are found on Aliette de Bodard’s website or at the ebook sellers of your choice.
And if you are hungry for more, there are a couple more stories set in the same
universe available, not free, but at an affordable price, “Of Books, and Earth, and Courtship”, published on its own, and “Against the Encroaching Darkness”,
available in Grimdark Magazine, issue 5.
